Bustin' Loose

(album: Orleans - 1980)

Words were spoken, things were broken
Pain inside's busting loose
Can't you hear me or come near me?
I'm calling out but it's no use

We've been fighting every night
And now we're far away
I want so much to reach out and touch you
But there's something in the way

You say our love is dying
You say you're tired of crying
No matter how hard we're trying
It's busting loose

"Work together, love each other
Find yourself"'s what they say
"Help your brother, call on your sister
It will get better every day"

But every time it gets out in the open
One of us runs away
I don't know but I keep on hoping
Maybe we'll make it, maybe we'll make it

Words were spoken, things were broken
Pain inside's busting loose
Well, can't you hear me or come near me?
I'm calling out but what's the use?

You say our love is dying
You say you're tired of crying
No matter how hard we're trying
It's busting loose

You say our love is dying
You say you're tired of crying
No matter how hard we're trying
It's busting loose

You say our love is dying
And yes, you're tired of crying
No matter how hard we're trying
It's busting loose
